Anonymous by Joan Richard (not anonymous)

In these weird and challenging times some words have taken
on new and sometimes ominous meanings. Anonymous
could mean an unknown benefactor or a malicious hacker
group. This is the story of a beneficial anonymous gift.

I was pleasantly surprised during a recent hike in the Hock-
leycrest area to come across a donor plaque reading: In
recognition of an anonymous donation which preserved a
portion of the Trail. May it inspire you to consider your own
legacy in preserving this ribbon of wilderness. This is an
entirely new take on donor plaques, which usually name the
source of larger donations in order to thank the donor, often
with a bit of a ceremony, and in an effort to encourage others
to do likewise.

By staying anonymous but still encouraging donations, this
donor may have missed the opportunity to be publicly
thanked. Hopefully instead they can be out enjoying the Trail and see many others also en-
joying it. On behalf of all who benefit from it, I would like to thank them for helping to secure
the Trail. In fact, let’s thank all those who donate amounts large and small, as it all adds up,
and bit by bit, we will get there, having a lasting memorial and a safe place to restore our-
selves in nature.

 PLEASE HELP REDUCE

Prediction Hike Fundraiser

On September 25, our Club welcomed fifty-one hikers to
the Caledon Hills for our Prediction Hike Fundraiser. It
was a gorgeous fall morning. The grass was dewy,
showy red sumac leaves fluttered in a gentle breeze,
and sunshine provided warmth from the slight chill in
the air. Laughter and exclamations of “I’m so happy to
see you. It’s been way too long!” rang out throughout
the morning and into the afternoon.

Earlier, when participants had registered for the event,
they chose between a 7 kilometre or 20 kilometre hike.
For fun, they also provided a prediction of how long it
would take them to complete their hike. They considered pace, distance, the hilly terrain,
and a little extra time to soak in the wonders of nature. It sounded so easy, but on hike day,
they could not use any time and distance technology. John Maxwell, one of our Club’s saw-
yers, tells a funny story about a hiker who was out on the trail a week or two before the
event. The hiker came across a trail maintenance work party and was asked to pause. “But,
but, I can’t stop,” the hiker blurted. “I’m practising for the Prediction Hike Fundraiser.” They
all laughed and let the hiker safely pass.

Fun Fact: The Prediction Hike Fundraiser was the first event to use the new paid hike func-
tion on the BTC Hike Calendar.

We are ever so grateful to the Tai Chi-International Centre for kindly letting us use their
property as our event base. There was ample room for parking, pitching our event canopies,
and space to safely socialize. The 7 kilometre hikers headed south to the bench that over-
looks a large expanse of spectacular landscape, just past 7th Line. Here, they turned around
and made their way back to the finish line. The 20 kilometre hikers headed north on the main
Trail, up and down some of our most challenging hills, to the north entrance of the Griffith
Ravine Side Trail. Then back they came, this time taking the Glacier Valley and Hockleycrest
Side Trails for some variety.

The hikers were dazzled along the trail. The intense rain from earlier in the week made the
sights and sounds of the creeks even more magnificent. Gigantic orange and yellow mush-
rooms were spotted along the Hockleycrest Side Trail and clusters of New England Asters
burst like mini purple fireworks. Our guests were well cared for by eighteen fun loving and
energetic volunteers - the set up crew, trail marshals, time keepers, badge presenter, park-
ing director, first aider, and cookie and lemonade servers. It felt GREAT to offer some of our
good old Caledon Hills hospitality to others.

 Every hiker was a winner for trying something new, courageously joining in a group
 event, and being active in nature. Two people were winners for being great predictors.
 The closest 7 kilometre prediction was made by Ian Proctor. He was 1 minute 30 sec-
 onds over his anticipated time. Just 13 minutes separated Fayyaz Mahmood from his
 prediction for the 20 kilometre hike. Both participants were awarded a BTC diamond
 plaque made by Dave Moule and a gift certificate from Am Braigh Farm of Mono. A
 healthy event deserves a healthy prize. This local farm is well known for its delicious
 locally grown organic vegetables and fresh eggs. We thank the folks at Am Braigh
 Farm for their generous donation.

 Our newest badge - Prediction Pete was adored by all. It was a
 colourful addition to badge seekers’ collections, and a proud
 first badge for others. Rumour has it that Pete is going to meet a
 new friend Patrice. Anyone care to predict where this friendship
 will take them - new locations, different distances, new adven-
 tures?

 Thank you to all of our participants, event day volunteers, and
 the many others who assisted with tasks leading up to the actu-
 al day. Everyone helped to make our inaugural Prediction Hike
 Fundraiser a huge success. Over $1,000.00 was raised for the
 Caledon Hills Bruce Trail Club. The money will be used to make
 the trail even better and will benefit many.

 Here’s to a great time spent with others!

Forest Bathing by Dr. Qing Li
 Book Review by Janice McClelland

A dear friend lent me this book. It is a calming book. In fact,
the sub-title of the book is: How Trees Can Help You Find
Health And Happiness.

The Book’s full title is: The Japanese Art And Science of
Shinrin-Yoku. Dr Qing Li, the author (and Chairperson of the
Japanese Society for Forest Medicine) explains that shinrin in
Japanese means “forest” and yoku means bath. So Shinrin-
yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the
forest through our senses. “It is simply being in nature, con-
necting with it through our sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell
and touch.”

Dr Qing Li notes that although Japan is one of the most densely populated countries in the
world, it is also one of the greenest, with a huge diversity of trees.

He advises us that even a small amount of time in nature can have an impact on our health –
“A two hour forest bath will help you to unplug from technology and slow down. It will bring
you into the present moment and de-stress and relax you.” He points to data that show that
forest bathing can lead to numerous health benefits such as reduced blood pressure, im-
proved cardiovascular health, lower blood sugar levels, etc.

The book is chock full of photos of forests…

Dr Qing Li tells us that forest-bathing began to be introduced in Japan in 1982. In 2004,
the scientific investigation of the link between forest and human health began in earnest.
Research has now shown that forest-bathing lowers the stress hormones cortisol and adren-
aline, suppresses the sympathetic or “flight or fight” system, enhances the parasympathetic
or “rest and recover’ system, lowers blood pressure and increases heart rate variability.

Although walking anywhere (in an urban or forest setting) reduces scores for anxiety, de-
pression, anger and confusion, it is only walking in forest environments that has a positive
effect on vigour and fatigue.

A two hour trip to the forest had a similar effect as longer excursions – you don’t have to
spend a lot of time in the forest.

Dr Qing Li’s studies have shown that a forest-bathing trip once a month is enough to main-
tain a high level of natural killer cell activity. (Natural killer cells are a type of white blood
cell and are so called because they can attack and kill unwanted cells, e.g. those cells
infected with a virus or tumour cells.)

In the middle of the book, he presents additional information on what it is in the forest and
soil that contributes to these positive health impacts and includes a few interesting

 Continued on Page 7

paragraphs on “soft fascination”. (I leave it to you to read the book to learn about these
aspects.)

If you want to try forest-bathing, he suggests that you find a place where you can feel
comfortable, somewhere that will “fill your heart with joy”. If you are a Bruce Trail hiker,
you can probably think of many such places. My two favourites so far are the Oliver Creek
Side Trail area in the Dufferin Hi-Land section and the River and Ruin Side Trail in the
Iroquoia section. Then engage your five senses – listen, look, smell, taste the freshness of
the air, touch the trunk of a tree…walk as slowly as you like – walking slowly will help you
to keep your senses open, to notice things and to smell the forest air.

The author devotes a few pages to Natural Silence. He says it has been called one of the
most endangered resources on the planet….He asks “If there was one natural sound that you
could preserve forever, what would it be?”

I could go on, however I recommend that you read the book and start your own forest-
bathing – try it, you may like it!

What A Celebration! Well Done Bruce Trail Conservancy!

On October 2nd and 3rd, the newly-
acquired 500+ acre Maple Cross Nature
Reserve at Cape Chin was the site of a
donor appreciation event. This event was
the first in-person event for the Bruce
Trail Conservancy in many, many months.
As one of the fortunate participants, I can
say it was well worth waiting for - both the
opportunity to gather with like-minded
individuals, and to celebrate this signifi-
cant achievement by the BTC. Spending
time on this beautiful section of the Pen-
insula on a sunny fall day was perfect.

The event started off with brief speeches from BTC CEO Michael McDonald; Maple Cross
Foundation Founders Dr. Jan Oudenes and Dr. Isobel Ralston; and neighbouring land-
owner and BTC Supporter Mr. Ron Gatis. Then we headed out for a hike of the new Trail
section. The hikes were hosted by BTC Ecology Staff which made for a very informative
time on the Trail as we stopped to learn about different plants and natural features. The
turquoise shore waters and beautiful vistas were stunning and will make a memorable
backdrop for all who are fortunate enough to hike this section. One group was lucky to
briefly see a massasauga rattlesnake, but all other wildlife remained in hiding during our
visit.
 Upon returning from our hike, time was provided
 to socialize; to enjoy delicious pizza from the
 wood fired oven and craft beer provided by
 Tagwerk – who also donated some of the pro-
 ceeds to the BTC from every bottle sold. It was
 an opportunity to meet BTC Staff, Peninsula Club
 Volunteers, generous donors and to make plans
 to explore this new section.

 What an accomplishment to have preserved 533
 acres with incredible support from the member-
 ship, donors and community. What a pleasure to
 support this purchase, visit the property and look
 to future hikes on this stunning section. This is
 another gem in the Bruce Trail Conservancy
 crown for all to enjoy.

Park Bagger: Adventures in the Canadian National Parks
 Written by Marlis Butcher

 Book Review by Joan Richard

Hikers and other nature enthusiasts will enjoy Park Bagger,
a recently published collection of personal adventures and
photos of all 48 national parks. Author Marlis Butcher is a
former BTC board member and a member of The Explorers
Club. Like me, you may enjoy comparing her account of
familiar parks we have visited such as Banff, Jasper and
Rouge. But there are also the parks most of us are barely
aware of. Quttinipaaq comes to mind. Describing how a 2
day, 3 plane fly-in took 8 days or how forest fires in the
Rocky Mountains threatened even a casual drive added a
personal but informative touch to the stories.

The book is divided into a chapter for each park, so can be read in short sittings. This is
firstly a personal account, with details that make you feel like you are there. It’s about
exploring and appreciating the parks, rather than lamenting losses and damage to the
environment. So if you’re in the mood for some good armchair travels, this is the book
for you. Published by Rocky Mountain Books, I found my copy at the public library.

Sandy Green - From Trail Captain to Sawyer

 By David Lloyd
I first met Sandy in the early Spring of 2019, at the Forks
of the Credit Provincial Park, where she had recently
assumed the role of Trail Captain for the section. As her
Quadrant Leader, we did two orientation hikes to cover
the duties of a trail captain. Sandy immediately made a
good impression with her enthusiasm and attention to
detail.

Shortly after this, Sandy expressed an interest in helping
out on trail maintenance work parties. Over the next year
or so, she participated in a number of activities with me
and often with John Maxwell. We repaired stairs on the
McLaren Road Side Trail, replaced a rotted dodgeway post
where the Trail goes under the Hwy 10 tunnel, and re-
placed boards on the large boardwalk on the Crow’s Nest
Side Trail. This activity was captured in a photo that was
published on the cover of the Spring 2020 issue of Caledon
Comment. Sandy also helped out as a “Chainsaw Guard”
for a number of tree cutting activities.

It was apparent to me and others that Sandy had a desire to learn about trail maintenance
activities and the skills and tools needed to do these jobs. About a year ago, I asked her if
she was interested in learning how to use a chainsaw and eventually take the chainsaw
certification course. She said yes without any hesitation. There was a “Catch 22” kind of
obstacle. As indicated in the BTC’s Chainsaw Policy, Trail workers are not allowed to use
a saw on the Bruce Trail unless they are certified. This issue was solved when Dave Moule
agreed to allow us to conduct the training on his property. Dave scouted out trees for the
practice sessions. Dave and John Maxwell also participated in some of the training activi-
ties.

What happened next was recorded in Sandy’s own words in an email to the club’s Trail
Director Heather Murch:

 “David Lloyd has suggested that I email you regarding the next BTC Chainsaw Train-
 ing Course. I am highly interested in taking the course. I believe there is one in the
 planning stages for this October.

 Since January of this year, David has been instructing me in the proper use of a chain-
 saw. He began by sending me hours of Youtube videos to watch and take notes. In
 March, my training then moved to practical field work. I presently have 11 and 1/2 hours
 of actual practice, thanks to Dave Moule and his permission to practice on his property.
 Recently, I bought my own chainsaw. Another friend, Daryl Keays has lined up some
 more practice for me in early October.
 Continued on Page 13
 12

I hope the formal BTC Training Workshop plans come to fruition. I’m eager to use my
 new skills to help maintain the safety of the Bruce Trail and to help build new trails.”

 Sandy was added to the list of people taking the chain-
 saw course that was held on Saturday, October 16 and
 Sunday, October 17 at the Mansfield Outdoor Centre.
 She passed the course with flying colours and as a no-
 table outcome became the first certified woman sawyer
 in the history of the CHBTC - quite an achievement!

 Note from Editor
 I emailed Sandy my congratulations. She was full of
 praise for John, Dave, Daryl, and especially David for
 all their patience and guidance, and for sharing their
 expertise. She expressed that in all of her years of
 teaching and being a mother, she never dreamed she’d
 become a sawyer for the Bruce Trail. She was happy
 for the opportunity to learn something new, to work
 with great people, and to play a part in caring for the
 Trail that she has loved since childhood.
 Congratulations Sandy!

 Cross-Country Skiing 2021 - 2022

Cross-country skiing will be available again
this year on the trails north of the Mono 5
Sideroad. Access is from the parking lot at
km 45.5 in the 30th Edition of the Bruce Trail
reference. Trails will be groomed for classic
skiing, when snow conditions permit.

There is one small but important improvement
to the trail network this year: a new hand-
shake agreement with a landowner has al-
lowed us to add a new link to the system.
This is a very easy, flat trail, which will enable
skiers to reach the easy trails in the central
portion of the network without having to
negotiate some very challenging hills along
the way.
For complete information about the ski trails,
members can click on the XC skiing tab on the
club website.

Talisman Resort by Andrew Camani

A Talisman is an object that someone believes holds magical properties that bring good luck
to the owner or protect the owner from all evil.

The Talisman Ski Resort was located near the quaint town of Kimberley, Ontario. When the
Talisman Ski Resort opened its doors on Christmas Eve in 1963, Ontario was introduced to
the most elaborate ski lodge ever built in the province. Twenty-six rooms and two large
dormitories made up the main chalet. At one point in time, the 200 acre property held the
title “Ontario’s largest ski resort”.

By 1964, Talisman became a year round
resort with the additions of a golf course
and two swimming pools. It was with these
additions that the resort welcomed the world
to Ontario’s premier four season destination.

During this time period, it appeared that
Talisman Ski Resort held magical properties.
It was a haven for passionate hikers, golfers,
bikers, skiers, snowboarders, and for those
simply needing a place to recharge.

After nearly forty successful years, the “Talisman” started to lose its magic. It was begin-
ning to lose its ability to bring luck to its owner or protect its owner from all evil. In 2009,
the resort ran into financial difficulties, claimed bankruptcy and was forced to close. In 2013
the Municipality of Grey Highlands made the decision to take over the property. The munici-
pality severed the top part of the property and sold the lodge property and the golf course
property to a numbered company. The numbered company ran into its own financial trou-
bles while reportedly spending millions trying to restore the resort.

In 2019, the municipality foreclosed on the former golf course. Ownership of the golf course
was transferred to the municipality. The numbered company retained ownership of the
lodge.

Today, near the Bruce Trail, rusting ski chairs hang over grassy slopes. The cables on
which the chairs ran have been removed. The swimming pools are no longer filled with
clear water. The golf course has been left uncut. The resort that once bristled with families
and skiers taking to the slopes and enjoying drinks at après-ski bars has sadly disappeared.
All that remains are the remnants of a property that once had the magical properties of a
“Talisman”.

Directions to the former Talisman Resort: Beaver Valley Section of the Bruce Trail – The
Trail arrives at Sideroad 7A. At km 85, the Trail turns right over a stile. This marks the
western boundary of the former Talisman Ski Resort.

port the publishing of the book 100 Forgotten Sites Along the Bruce Trail by obtaining a
